Controls for reliability, efficiency and system monitoring

Trane unit controls and building automation solutions are designed to meet your critical requirements. Adaptive Control™ algorithms embedded in the factory-mounted CH530 controller on the CGAM chiller use Trane proprietary strategies to respond to normal, extreme or adverse conditions. The sophisticated algorithms intelligently maximize uptime while protecting equipment from damage.

The chiller manages time-of-day scheduling for small buildings or schools without a building automation system. If an integrated pump package is included, the chiller even controls pumps as needed. For larger enterprise-wide projects, a Tracer ES™ building automation system monitors and manages all chillers within the enterprise.

Manage multiple chillers from any location

Adding the Tracer™ SC controller to a system provides a flexible, cost-effective solution for managing your HVAC system that can extend to lighting and energy consumption. Its simplified,

Web-based management tools help improve efficiencies, increase tenant comfort and reduce energy costs.

Accessible from any PC with an Internet connection, Tracer SC eliminates the need for a dedicated computer and monitor, so you can manage system performance whenever, wherever it is convenient. Tracer SC controller’s simplified, Web-based management tool reduces scheduling, reporting and applications programming chores to simple “point and click” tasks. Users do not have to invest in special software or training—so it is easy to control the building without additional costs.

Tracer SC is scalable for most buildings—small, medium or large—and can grow with your building and adapt to your changing needs. With expandable communications from 30- to 60- to 120-unit controllers, it is a flexible and costeffective choice.

Tracer SC now supports BACnet™ top to bottom, as well as existing LonWorks™ controllers.

Expert services for the life of your building

Trane Building Services helps you improve energy efficiency, reduce operating costs and enhance the performance of your equipment—making your building work better for life.

CGAM chiller is available with the Trane Elite Start™ suite of services to make sure your system operates as designed from day one. Factory start-up services will help your system perform to specifications upon installation.

Trane recommends these Elite Start services:

• In-Warranty Support—oil analysis, diagnostic reporting and monitoring keep equipment operation at peak performance during the first year of operation

• Extended Warranty—covers parts and labor associated with any equipment failure

• Service Agreements—scheduled inspections for preventive and proactive maintenance ensure long-term reliability, efficiency and performance

Easier to service if needed

We take advantage of the vast knowledge of service professionals by including them in our early design efforts. As a result, the Trane CGAM chiller has many valuable service improvements:

• All major serviceable components are very close to the edge of the unit, making it safer and easier to service. The unit has easy-toreach service valves, water strainer and water piping connections.

Not only do Trane CGAM air-cooled chillers deliver the lowest noise levels and highest efficiencies in their class, but they also can be applied with Trane fan coil units or air handlers to improve indoor air quality — helping achieve LEED® performance.

• Hinged condenser fans with a prop rod makes coil cleaning safer and fan servicing easier.

• The factory-installed pump package is designed to service in place, including pump seal changes. Simply lift the pump within the chiller structure to replace the seal.

• The high-pressure transducer and temperature sensor mountings enable troubleshooting and replacement without refrigerant handling

• Separate access to the low-voltage control panel makes the chiller easier to service

To help ensure that building performance is meeting your business needs, our service professionals tap into a global network of proven best practices, Trane proprietary technology and industry-leading expertise.

We continually train our technicians and provide on-demand access to all the latest resources to make maintenance decisions that will finetune your entire system, in order to achieve the highest level of performance.

No service provider is more qualified to deliver the cost savings and performance assurance you demand from Trane equipment. Trane sales and service professionals will customize creative solutions that meet your specific maintenance, budget and operational requirements. To minimize any downtime, the Trane nationwide network of HVAC Parts and Supply stores ensures you can get the part you need when you need it.

Get help making the right decision

There are hundreds of possible system designs and chiller configurations, and thousands of possible efficiency levels. How do you determine the right HVAC system for your building?

Whether you are calculating energy efficiency to determine eligibility for LEED credits, earn tax deductions, or select the HVAC system with the lowest operating costs, Trane can help. The Trane System Analyzer™ software estimates building loads and performs preliminary energy and economic analyses of virtually any building, system and equipment combination.

For LEED certification, TRACE™ 700 (Trane Air Conditioning Economics) software helps analyze the energy and economic effects of virtually any system by letting you manipulate a wide range of variables to create a detailed energy usage profile for the specific building. Unlike overly simplified spreadsheet-based energy analysis, TRACE 700 software accurately compares the impact of building alternatives, such as architectural features, HVAC systems and other economic options, to provide true lifecycle, costbased decisions.

Customers

Plasma has many benefits. GPS’ technology produces natural, friendly, oxidizers that seek out contaminants and odors in the space. The plasma, when produced and injected into a moving air stream, breaks down gases to harmless compounds prevalent in the atmosphere such as oxygen, nitrogen, water vapor and carbon dioxide. In addition to the reduction of gases and odors, plasma also reduces particulates and kills mold, bacteria and virus in the space.

GPS’ Plasma Reduces Airborne Particles

The plasma clusters are drawn to airborne particles by their electrical charge. Once the cluster is formed around the particle, the particle grows larger by attracting nearby particles and increases the filtration effectiveness.

Plasma Kills Virus, Bacteria and Mold - In the Space!

Plasma travels with the air flow and surrounds the pathogens (See Figure 1), confirmed by EMSL Labs. Next, the plasma robs the pathogens of the hydrogen necessary for them to survive (See Figure 2). During the final step, the plasma eliminates hydrogen from the pathogen and then the cleansing process is complete, making the airborne virus, bacteria or mold spore inactive (See Figure 3).
